2. | Recitals. |
2.1Buyer desires to purchase the Property (defined in Section 5 below) and Seller desires to sell the Property, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2.2In consideration of the mutual terms, provisions, covenants and agreements set forth herein, as well as the sums to be paid by Buyer to Seller, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, Buyer and Seller agree as follows:
3. | Agreement to Purchase and Sell Property and Modification of the Access Agreement. |
3.1Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell the Property to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase the Property from Seller.
3.2The parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer was intended to be a named party under that certain Access Agreement among PDX Industrial Investments, a Delaware limited liability company and Seller, dated September 18, 2017 (the “Access Agreement”). Accordingly, by execution of this Agreement the Access Agreement is deemed to have been entered into between Seller and Buyer for all purposes.
4. | Purchase Price; Deposit; Escrow. |
4.1Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property shall be Four Million Four Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($4,415,000) (the “Purchase Price”), and shall be payable as follows: (a) Buyer shall deliver to Commerce Escrow Company, 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxx 0000, Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Xxxxxx Xxxxxx (“Escrow Agent”) the Deposit on the date set forth in Section 4.2 below, and (b) on or before one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date (defined in Section 9.1 below), Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Agent the Purchase Price, less the Deposit, plus or minus applicable prorations, in immediate, same day U.S. federal funds wired for credit into Escrow Agent’s escrow account, which funds must be delivered in a manner to permit Escrow Agent to deliver good funds to Seller on the Closing Date.
4.2Deposit.
4.2.1Deposit; Independent Consideration. Within two (2) business days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall deposit One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the “Deposit”) with Escrow Agent. One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the Deposit (the “Independent

Consideration”) shall constitute independent consideration for Seller’s entry into this Agreement, shall be immediately disbursed by Escrow Agent to Seller and shall be non-refundable to Buyer under any circumstances, notwithstanding the fact that this Agreement may otherwise provide for the Deposit to be refunded to Buyer.
4.2.2Disposition of Deposit. If the sale hereunder is consummated in accordance with the terms hereof, the Deposit shall be applied as a credit to the Purchase Price at Closing (defined in Section 9.1 below). The Independent Consideration is immediately non-refundable to Buyer as set forth in Section 4.2.1 above, and the balance of the Deposit shall also become nonrefundable upon the expiration of the Inspection Period; provided, however, if Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period pursuant to the terms of Article 6, Escrow Agent shall return to Buyer the balance of the Deposit (to the extent the same had been deposited by Buyer with Escrow Agent) promptly following written notice from Buyer delivered to Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period that Buyer has terminated this Agreement.
4.2.3Investment of Deposit. Escrow Agent shall invest all deposits held by it, and not otherwise released to Seller, in government insured interest bearing accounts satisfactory to Seller and Buyer, shall not commingle the Deposit with any funds of Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. Such account shall have no penalty for early withdrawal, and Buyer accepts all risks with regard to such account. The Deposit shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check or the wire transfer to Escrow Agent of immediately available U.S. federal funds.
4.3Escrow. An escrow (the “Escrow”) to consummate the sale and purchase of the Property shall be opened with Escrow Agent. Within one (1) business day after the Effective Date, the parties shall deposit with Escrow Agent a copy of this Agreement which, in addition to constituting the agreement of the parties, shall serve as escrow instructions to Escrow Agent. The parties shall execute such additional escrow instructions as Escrow Agent may reasonably require to clarify its duties hereunder, provided that such additional instructions do not impose any material additional obligations on the parties. Such further instructions shall not modify the provisions of this Agreement unless otherwise expressly set forth therein and any inconsistency between the provisions of such additional instructions and the provisions of this Agreement shall be resolved in favor of this Agreement.
5.Property. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following property (collectively, the “Property”):
5.1Real Property.

5.3Tangible Personal Property. All of Seller’s right, title and interest, without warranty, in the equipment, machinery, furniture, furnishings, supplies and other tangible personal property, if any, owned by Seller and now or hereafter located in and used exclusively in connection with the operation, ownership or management of the Real Property, but specifically excluding any items of personal property owned by tenants at or on the Real Property and further excluding any items of personal property owned by third parties and leased to Seller (collectively, the “Tangible Personal Property”).
5.4Intangible Personal Property. All of Seller’s right, title and interest, if any, without warranty, in all intangible personal property related to the Real Property and the Improvements, including, without limitation, all to the extent assignable: all trade names and trademarks associated solely with the Real Property and the Improvements, including the name of the Real Property; the plans and specifications and other architectural and engineering drawings for the Improvements, if any; warranties, if any; contract rights related to the construction, operation or management of the Real Property, if any (collectively, the “Service Contracts”) (but Seller’s right, title and interest therein shall only be assigned to the extent Seller’s obligations thereunder are expressly assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement); and governmental permits, approvals and licenses, if any (collectively, the “Intangible Personal Property”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Intangible Personal Property include any right to use the name “Xxxxxxx” or any derivation thereof.

6.1Due Diligence/Termination Right. During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, on the thirtieth (30th) day following the Effective Date (the “Inspection Period”), Buyer shall have the right to (i) examine, inspect, and investigate the Property Documents and the Property and, in Buyer’s sole and absolute judgment and discretion, determine whether the Property (including the condition of title to the Real Property, as described in Section 7.3) is acceptable to Buyer, (ii) obtain all necessary internal approvals, and (iii) satisfy all other contingencies of Buyer. Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period upon written notice to Seller, in which case this Agreement shall terminate and the Independent Consideration shall be disbursed to Seller and the balance of the Deposit shall be returned promptly to Buyer. Buyer shall elect to disapprove the foregoing contingencies and terminate this Agreement, if at all, by written notice of termination delivered to Seller and Escrow Agent by or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, and Buyer’s failure to deliver a written notice of termination to Seller and Escrow Agent by such time shall be deemed evidence of Buyer’s approval and waiver of its due diligence investigations and an election to proceed to Closing.

6.2Due Diligence Materials. During the Inspection Period and following at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior telephone or written notice from Buyer, Seller agrees to allow Buyer, its authorized agents or representatives, at Buyer’s expense, to inspect at the Real Property and make copies of any other documents and property records (other than the Excluded Documents, as defined below) relating exclusively to the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Property, but only if and to the extent such documents and property records are in Seller’s possession at the Real Property. All of the foregoing documents and information delivered to, made available to, copied and/or reviewed by Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.2 (including all Leases and Service Contracts) shall sometimes be referred to collectively herein as the “Property Documents”. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to make available to Buyer, and Buyer shall have no right to inspect or make copies of, any of the Excluded Documents. As used herein, “Excluded Documents” shall mean any documents involving either Seller’s financing or refinancing of the Property, any purchase and escrow agreements and correspondence pertaining to Seller’s acquisition of the Property, any documents pertaining to the potential acquisition of the Property by any past or prospective purchasers, any third party purchase inquiries and correspondence, appraisals of the Property, internal budgets or financial projections, and any other internal documents (other than documents consisting of correspondence or notices to and from the tenants or documents relating to the physical or environmental condition of Real Property). Additionally, Seller shall have the right to upload the Property Documents to an on-line data room.
6.3Physical Due Diligence. Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until the Closing (or earlier termination of this Agreement), Buyer shall have reasonable access to the Real Property at all reasonable times during normal business hours, upon appropriate notice to tenants as permitted or required under the Leases, for the purpose of conducting reasonably necessary tests, including surveys and architectural, engineering, geotechnical and environmental inspections and tests, provided that (i) Buyer must give Seller one (1) business day’s prior telephone or written notice of any such inspection or test, and with respect to any intrusive inspection or test (i.e., core sampling or drilling) must obtain Seller’s prior written consent (which consent may be given, withheld or conditioned in Seller’s sole discretion), (ii) prior to performing any inspection or test, Buyer must deliver a certificate of insurance to Seller evidencing that Buyer and its contractors, agents and representatives have in place comprehensive general liability insurance and workers compensation insurance for its activities on the Real Property on terms and in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Seller covering any incident arising in connection with the presence of Buyer, its contractors, agents and representatives on the Real Property, which insurance shall name Seller as an additional insured thereunder, and (iii) all such tests shall be conducted by Buyer in compliance with Buyer’s responsibilities set forth in this Agreement. Buyer shall bear the cost of all such inspections or tests and shall be responsible for and act as the generator with respect to any wastes generated by those tests. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.6 hereof, Buyer or Buyer’s representatives may meet with any tenant or any governmental authority for any good faith, reasonable purpose in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, Buyer must provide Seller with at least two (2) business days’ advance written notice of Buyer’s intended meeting and allow Seller the opportunity to attend such meeting if Seller desires. Buyer’s obligations under this Section 6.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The Reports shall be delivered to Seller without any representation or warranty as to the completeness or accuracy of the Reports or any other matter relating thereto. Buyer’s obligation to deliver the Property Documents and the Reports to Seller shall survive the termination of this Agreement. However, for clarity, Buyer shall not provide Seller or its agents with any Reports prepared by or for the benefit of Buyer (or the results evidenced by said Reports) unless Seller requests the same, in writing.
6.5Service Contracts. On or prior to the last day of the Inspection Period, Buyer will advise Seller in writing of which Service Contracts it will assume and for which Service Contracts Buyer requests that Seller deliver written termination at or prior to Closing, provided Seller shall have no obligation to terminate, and Buyer shall be obligated to assume, any Service Contracts which by their terms cannot be terminated without penalty or payment of a fee. Seller shall deliver at Closing notices of termination of all Service Contracts that are not so assumed. Buyer must assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service Contracts (i) that Buyer has agreed to assume, or that Buyer is obligated to assume pursuant to this Section 6.5, and (ii) for which a termination notice is delivered as of or prior to Closing but for which termination is not effective until after Closing.
6.6Proprietary Information; Confidentiality. Buyer acknowledges that the Property Documents are proprietary and confidential and will be delivered to Buyer or made available for Buyer’s review solely to assist Buyer in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Buyer shall not use the Property Documents for any purpose other than as set forth in the preceding sentence. Buyer shall not disclose the contents of the Property Documents to any person other than to those persons who are responsible for determining the feasibility of Buyer’s acquisition of the Property (including Buyer’s lenders, if any) and who have agreed to preserve the confidentiality of such information as required hereby (collectively, “Permitted Outside Parties”). At any time and from time to time, within two (2) business days after Seller’s request, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a list of all parties to whom Buyer has provided any Property Documents or any information taken from the Property Documents. Buyer shall not divulge the contents of the Property Documents and other information except in strict accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in this Agreement. In permitting Buyer to review the Property Documents or any other information, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created.
6.7No Representation or Warranty by Seller. Buyer acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Seller nor any of Seller’s employees, partners, officers, members, directors, shareholders, bankers, attorneys, consultants or agents (collectively, “Seller Parties”) has made nor makes any warranty or representation regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Documents or the source(s) thereof. Buyer further acknowledges that some if not all of the Property Documents were prepared by third parties other than Seller. Seller expressly disclaims any and all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied, statements of fact and other matters contained in such information, or for omissions from the Property

Documents, or in any other written or oral communications transmitted or made available to Buyer. Buyer shall rely solely upon its own investigation with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, the Property’s physical, environmental or economic condition, compliance or lack of compliance with any ordinance, order, permit or regulation or any other attribute or matter relating thereto.

6.9Buyer’s Agreement to Indemnify. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liens, Claims (as defined in Section 13.3) arising out of Buyer’s inspections or tests of the Property or any violation of the provisions of Sections 6.3, 6.6 and 6.8; provided, however, the indemnity and defense obligation shall not extend to protect Seller from any Claims to the extent such any such Claim is solely attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, its officers, directors, principals, employees, contractors, representatives or agents or is due to pre-existing conditions merely discovered by Buyer, except to the extent that Buyer and its agents and representatives exacerbate such pre-existing conditions. Buyer shall also indemnify, defend and hold any tenant harmless from and against any and all Claims which any tenant may suffer or incur due to Buyer’s breach of its obligation under Section 6.7 above to maintain the confidential nature of any Property Documents or other information relative to such tenant. Buyer’s obligations under this Section 6.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing.

7.2New or Updated Survey. Buyer may elect to obtain a new survey or revise, modify, or re‑certify any existing survey (“Survey”) as necessary in order for the Title Company to delete the survey exception from the Title Policy or to otherwise satisfy Buyer’s objectives; provided, however, in no event shall the issuance and/or receipt of such Survey be a condition precedent to, or delay, Closing.
7.3Title Review. During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, on the nineteenth (19th) day following the Effective Date (the “Title Review Period”), Buyer shall review title to the Real Property as disclosed by the PTR and the Survey (if any). All matters shown in the PTR, the Title Documents and the Survey (if any) which are not objected to by Buyer by delivery of written notice thereof (“Buyer’s Title Objection Notice”) to Seller on or before the end of the Title Review Period shall be conclusively deemed to be accepted by Buyer. If Buyer timely delivers to Seller Buyer’s Title Objection Notice prior to the end of the Title Review Period specifying Buyer’s objection to any title exception pertaining to the Real Property shown in the PTR, the Title Documents and the Survey (if any) (each a “Title Objection” and collectively the “Title Objections”), Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, eliminate or cure (by title endorsement from the Title Company or otherwise) some or all of such Title Objections; provided, however, if Seller desires to eliminate or cure some or all of such Title Objections, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) days after the end of the Title Review Period (“Seller’s Notice Period”) of those Title Objections Seller intends to eliminate or cure (said notice hereinafter called “Seller’s Title Notice”) and in which case the elimination or curing by Seller of the Title Objections specified by Seller for cure or elimination in Seller’s Title Notice on or before the Closing Date shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to proceed to the Closing. If Seller does not deliver Seller’s Title Notice to Buyer within Seller’s Notice Period, Buyer is deemed to be notified that Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or cure the Title Objections. If Seller (i) does not timely deliver Seller’s Title Notice, or (ii) notifies or is deemed to have notified Buyer that Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any particular Title Objection, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived those Title Objections which Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or cure unless on or before the end of the Inspection Period, Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing provisions has not expired prior thereto, it shall expire upon expiration of the Inspection Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.3 to the contrary, Buyer and Seller acknowledge that although Seller has no obligation (unless specifically set forth in Seller’s Title Notice) to cure any title matters, subject to Buyer’s full performance under this Agreement, Seller does agree to deliver title to the Real Property at Closing free and clear of deeds of trust and/or mortgages created by, under or through Seller, which liens Seller shall cause to be released at or prior to Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for such purpose).
7.4New Title Exceptions. In the event Buyer receives notice from the Title Company of any new title exceptions not caused or contributed to by Buyer and first arising after the expiration of the Title Review Period (the “New Title Exceptions”), then Buyer shall have the right within two (2) business days after such updated PTR is received by Buyer (but, in any event, prior to the scheduled Closing Date) to object in writing to any New Title Exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions. Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to remove or cause to be removed any such New Title Exceptions that Buyer objects to and Seller may notify Buyer in writing within two (2)
7
/s/ LS |
Buyer Initials |
business days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of Buyer’s title objections (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date) whether Seller elects to remove the same. Failure of Seller to respond in writing within such 2-business day period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remove Buyer’s title objections. If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to remove one or more of Buyer’s title objections to the New Title Exceptions, then, within two (2) business days after Seller’s election (but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date), Buyer may elect in writing to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive such title objections and proceed to Closing without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.
7.5Permitted Exceptions. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: the specific exceptions listed in the PTR that the Title Company has not agreed to remove from the PTR as of the end of the Inspection Period and that Seller is not required to remove as provided in Section 7.3 above; matters created by, through or under Buyer; items shown on the Survey which have not been removed as of the end of the Inspection Period; real estate taxes not yet due and payable; tenants under the Leases; and any licensees under any Service Contracts not terminated as of Closing.
7.6Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. In the event that the Title Company does not issue at Closing, or unconditionally commit at Closing to issue, to Buyer, a standard ALTA coverage owner’s title policy in accordance with the PTR, without endorsements and insuring Buyer’s title to the Real Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage contained in such policy and the Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Policy”), Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement.
8.Operations and Risk of Loss.
8.1Ongoing Operations. From the Effective Date through Closing:
8.1.1Leases and Service Contracts. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform its material obligations under the Leases and Service Contracts consistent with its operational obligations under Section 8.1.3 below.
8.1.2New Contracts. Seller will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause and without the payment of any termination penalty on no more than thirty (30) days’ prior notice.
8.1.3Continuing Operations; Removal of Personal Property. Subject to Sections 8.2 and 8.3, Seller shall maintain all Improvements in a manner consistent with Seller’s maintenance of the Improvements during Seller’s period of ownership, subject to ordinary wear and tear, casualty, condemnation, or other events beyond the control of Seller, including, without limitation, changes in laws, rules, ordinances and regulations, and provided further that in no event shall Seller be obligated to undertake any repairs, replacements or improvements of a capital nature. Seller will not remove any Tangible Personal Property except as may be required for necessary repair or
8

Buyer Initials |
replacement, and replacement shall be of approximately equal quality and quantity as existed as the removed item of Tangible Personal Property.
8.1.4Leasing. Seller will not amend or terminate any existing Lease or enter into any new Lease (i) without providing Buyer all relevant supporting documentation, as reasonably determined by Seller, including, without limitation, financial information of the tenant, and Leasing Costs (as defined below), to the extent in Seller’s possession, and (ii) without Buyer’s prior written consent (which Buyer may withhold or grant in its sole discretion) with respect to any such amendment or termination of a Lease or new Lease which is to be executed after the expiration of the Inspection Period. Buyer agrees to give Seller written notice of approval or disapproval of a proposed amendment or termination of a Lease or new Lease within two (2) business days after Buyer’s receipt of all supporting documentation relevant to the Lease, as reasonably determined by Seller. If Buyer does not respond to Seller’s request within such two (2) business day period, then Buyer will be deemed to have approved such amendment, termination or new Lease. For purposes of this Agreement, “Leasing Costs” means, with respect to a particular “Lease” (including, without limitation, any amendments or modifications thereto and/or terminations thereof), all capital costs, expenses incurred for capital improvements, equipment, painting, decorating, partitioning and other items to satisfy the initial construction obligations of the landlord under such Lease (including any expenses incurred for legal, architectural or engineering services in respect of the foregoing), “tenant allowances” in lieu of or as reimbursements for the foregoing items, payments made for purposes of satisfying or terminating the obligations of the tenant under such Lease to the landlord under another lease (i.e., lease buyout costs), costs of base building work, free rent and other similar inducements, relocation costs, temporary leasing costs, leasing commissions, brokerage commissions, legal, design and other professional fees and costs, in each case, to the extent the landlord under such Lease is responsible for the payment of such cost or expense or incurred same in negotiating and/or entering into said Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall have no right to disapprove any amendment or modification to a Lease which Seller is required to deliver pursuant to said Lease, such as an amendment which solely extends the term of a Lease or expands premises under a lease pursuant to the exercise of an option by the tenant under said Lease, but Buyer shall have the right to review and approve discretionary elements of any such amendment or modification as set forth above in this Section 8.1 (e.g., without limitation, the determination of fair market rental during an option term).
8.1.5Intentionally Omitted.
8.1.6Intentionally Omitted.
8.2Damage. If prior to Closing the Real Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall estimate the cost to repair and the time required to complete repairs and will provide Buyer written notice of Seller’s estimation (the “Casualty Notice”) as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the casualty.
8.2.1Material. In the event of any Material Damage (defined below) to the Real Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing, either Seller or Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other on or before the expiration of five (5)

Buyer Initials |
business days after the date Seller delivers the Casualty Notice to Buyer (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give the parties the full five (5) business day period to make such election and to obtain insurance settlement agreements with Seller’s insurers). Upon any such termination, the Independent Consideration shall be disbursed to Seller and the balance of the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If neither Seller nor Buyer so terminates this Agreement within said five (5) business day period, then the parties shall proceed under this Agreement and close on schedule (subject to extension of Closing as provided above), and as of Closing Seller shall assign to Buyer, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (net of collection costs and less repair and/or restoration costs incurred by Seller before the Closing) and Buyer shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Damage” and “Materially Damaged” means damage which, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, exceeds Ten Percent (10%) of the Purchase Price to repair.
8.2.2Not Material. If the Real Property is not Materially Damaged, then neither Buyer nor Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and Seller shall, at its option, either (i) repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, or (ii) as of Closing assign to Buyer, without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of Seller’s rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds (excluding any rent loss insurance applicable to any period before the Closing Date) (net of collection costs and less repair and/or restoration costs incurred by Seller before the Closing) and Buyer shall assume full responsibility for all needed repairs.
8.3Condemnation. If proceedings in eminent domain are instituted with respect to the Property or any portion thereof and such proceeds will preclude Buyer from operating the Property after the Closing in substantially the same manner in which Seller is operating the Property as of the Effective Date, then Buyer may, at its option, by written notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Seller notifies Buyer of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to give Buyer the full ten (10)‑day period to make such election), either: (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Independent Consideration shall be disbursed to Seller and the balance of the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Buyer its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award (net of collection costs and less repair and/or restoration costs incurred by Seller before the Closing), and Buyer shall have the sole right after the Closing to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning authority in respect of such matter. If Buyer does not give Seller written notice of its election within the time required above, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected option (ii) above.
9.Closing.
9.1Closing. The consummation of the transaction contemplated herein (“Closing”) shall occur thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Inspection Period (the “Closing Date”) at or
10
/s/ LS |
Buyer Initials |
through the offices of Escrow Agent (or such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer). However, Buyer shall be entitled to one (1) extension of the Closing Date of no more than thirty (30) days, which Buyer may exercise, if at all, by delivering written notice of such election to extend the Closing Date to Seller and Escrow Holder at least five (5) business days before the then scheduled date of the Closing, and which notice must specify the new Closing Date (which must be no more than thirty (30) days before the then scheduled date of the Closing Date). Funds shall be deposited into Escrow at least one (1) business day before the Closing Date and shall be held by Escrow Agent in a closing escrow account with a bank satisfactory to Buyer and Seller. Upon satisfaction or completion of all closing conditions and deliveries, the parties shall direct Escrow Agent to immediately record and deliver the closing documents to the appropriate parties and make disbursements according to the closing statements executed by Seller and Buyer.
9.2Conditions to Parties’ Obligation to Close. In addition to all other conditions set forth herein, the obligation of Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder are conditioned upon the following:
9.2.1Representations and Warranties. The other party’s representations and warranties contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (provided, however, if Buyer has knowledge that any of Seller’s representations and warranties are not true and correct in all material respects prior to the end of the Inspection Period but Buyer nevertheless did not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1 above, the accuracy of such representations and warranties shall no longer be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property hereunder);
9.2.2Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Receipt of tenant estoppel certificates (“Tenant Estoppel Certificates”) from tenants under Leases in effect as of the Closing Date and representing seventy-five percent (75%) of the rentable square footage of the building on the Land (i.e., 20,400 square feet), one of which must be from Chef Xxxxxxx, Inc. (collectively, the “Required Tenants”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “G” (or if Buyer’s lender will not accept that form, then in a form reasonably required by Buyer’s lender) shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to acquire the Property hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the “Required Tenants”, as used in the preceding sentence, shall not include any area subject to or covered by any billboard, rooftop, telecommunications, or antenna lease or license (collectively, “Non-Space Leases”). If on the Closing Date such condition is not satisfied, then Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date up to ten (10) business days by delivering notice thereof to Buyer on or before the Closing Date. If Seller does not elect to extend the Closing Date (or if such Closing Date was extended but such condition is not satisfied by such extended Closing Date), the Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice given prior to the Closing, in which case this Agreement shall terminate and Buyer shall be entitled to a refund of the Deposit, and no party hereto shall have any further obligation under this Agreement except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.
(i)Seller shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the tenant under each Lease (other than Non-Space Leases). As used in this Agreement, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall not include any obligation to
11
/s/ LS |
Buyer Initials |
institute or threaten legal proceedings, to declare or threaten to declare any person in default, to expend any monies or to cause any other person to do any of the same.
(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event Seller fails to obtain a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from any particular tenant under any Lease (after requesting the same) other than any Non-Space Lease:
(1)In the case of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate to be obtained from a Required Tenant, Seller shall give written notice to Buyer stating that Seller has not obtained such Tenant Estoppel Certificate, in which event Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller at any time prior to the earlier to occur of the Closing Date or five (5) business days after receipt of Seller’s notice, in which case the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration, which shall be paid to Seller) shall be returned to Buyer and no party hereto shall have any further obligation under this Agreement except under those provisions that survive a termination of this Agreement, and if Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement within such period, Buyer shall be deemed (except for purposes of clause (b) below) to have received a Tenant Estoppel Certificate with respect to such tenant for purposes of satisfying the condition under this Section 9.2.2; and.
(2)Seller may (but shall not be obligated to) deliver to Buyer on the Closing Date a certificate (the “Seller Tenant Certificate”) in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and in such event, Seller shall be deemed to have delivered a Tenant Estoppel Certificate with respect to such tenant for purposes of satisfying the condition under this Section 9.2.2. Any Seller Tenant Certificate shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 12.2 and 12.3. All such Seller Tenant Certificates shall expire upon the earlier of (i) six (6) months following the Closing or (ii) the delivery of the corresponding estoppel from the tenant which does not conflict in any material respects with the Seller Tenant Certificate; and furthermore, a Seller estoppel shall expire as to all non-conflicting certifications set forth in the tenant estoppel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be entitled to provide a Seller Tenant Certificate for Chef Xxxxxxx, Inc. or for tenants occupying, in the aggregate, more than fifteen percent (15%) of the rentable square footage of the building on the Land.
9.2.3Deliveries. As of the Closing Date, the other party shall have tendered all deliveries to be made at Closing.
So long as a party is not in default hereunder, if any condition to such party’s obligation to proceed with the Closing hereunder has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date (or such earlier date as is provided herein), such party may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other party on or before the Closing Date, or elect to close notwithstanding the non‑satisfaction of such condition, in which event such party shall be deemed to have waived any such condition. In the event such party elects to close, notwithstanding the non‑satisfaction of such condition, said party shall be deemed to have waived said condition, and there shall be no liability on the part of any other party hereto for breaches of representations and warranties of which the party electing to close had knowledge of at the Closing. In the event Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to an express termination right of Buyer under this Section 9.2.2, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer.

13.2Sale “As Is, Where Is.” Buyer acknowledges and agrees that upon Closing, Seller shall sell and convey to Buyer and Buyer shall accept the Property “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS,” except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement and any document executed by Seller and delivered to Buyer at Closing. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Buyer has not relied and will not rely on, and Seller has not made and is not liable for or bound by, any express or implied warranties, guarantees, statements, representations or information pertaining to the Property or relating thereto (including specifically, without limitation, Property information packages distributed with respect to the Property) made or furnished by Seller, or any real estate broker, agent or third party representing or purporting to represent Seller, to whomever made or given, directly or indirectly, orally or in writing. Buyer represents that it is a knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated purchaser of real estate and that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of Buyer’s consultants in purchasing the Property and shall make an independent verification of the accuracy of any documents and information provided by Seller. Buyer will conduct such inspections and investigations of the Property as Buyer deems necessary, including, but not limited to, the physical and environmental conditions thereof, and shall rely upon same. By failing to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer acknowledges that Seller has afforded Buyer a full opportunity to conduct such investigations of the Property as Buyer deemed necessary to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Property and the existence or non‑existence or curative action to be taken with respect to any Hazardous Materials on or discharged from the Property, and will rely solely upon same and not upon any information provided by or on behalf of Seller or any Seller Parties with respect thereto, other than such representations, warranties and covenants of Seller as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. Upon Closing, Buyer shall assume the risk that adverse matters, including, but not limited to, adverse physical or construction defects or adverse environmental, health or safety conditions, may not have been revealed by Buyer’s inspections and investigations.

13.3Seller Released from Liability. Buyer has fully reviewed the disclaimers and waivers set forth in this Agreement with its counsel and understands the significance and effect thereof. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the disclaimers and other agreements set forth in this Agreement are an integral part of this Agreement and that Seller would not have agreed to sell the Property to Buyer for the Purchase Price without this disclaimer and other agreements set forth in this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the express representations set forth in Section 11.1 of this Agreement or in the documents to be delivered by Seller at Closing, effective as of the Closing, Buyer on behalf of itself and its heirs, successors and assigns, hereby expressly waives, relinquishes, acquits, forever discharges and releases any and all past, present, or future, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, claims, causes of actions, cross-claims, liabilities, rights, remedies, demands (including letter-demands, notices, or inquiries from any person or governmental or quasi-governmental authority or agency), penalties, assessments, damages, requests, suits, lawsuits, costs (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), actions, administrative proceedings, or orders, of whatever nature, character, type, or description,

Buyer hereby further agrees as follows:
Buyer acknowledges that there is a risk that subsequent to the execution of the release set forth herein, Buyer may discover, incur, or suffer from Claims which were unknown or unanticipated at the time this Agreement is executed, including, without limitation, unknown or unanticipated Claims which, if known by Buyer on the date this Agreement is being executed, may have materially affected Buyer’s decision to execute this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that Buyer is assuming the risk of such unknown and unanticipated Claims and agrees that this release applies thereto. Buyer expressly waives the benefits of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
Buyer represents and warrants that Buyer has been represented by independent counsel of Buyer’s own choosing in connection with the preparation and review of the release set forth herein, that Buyer has specifically discussed with such counsel the meaning and effect of this release and that Buyer has carefully read and understand the scope and effect of each provision contained herein. Buyer further represents and warrants that Buyer does not rely and has not relied upon any representation or statement made by Seller or any Seller Parties with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this release.

Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that Buyer has not and shall not assign or transfer or purport to assign or transfer any Claim or Claims or any portion thereof or any interest therein to any party who does not acquire an interest in the Property or this Agreement, and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against any Claim or Claims based on or arising out of, whether directly or indirectly, any such assignment or transfer, or purported assignment or transfer.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to the provisions of Sections 12.2.2 and 12.2.3, the foregoing release and waiver is not intended and shall not be construed as affecting or impairing any rights or remedies that Buyer may have against Seller with respect to (i) a breach of any of Seller’s representations or warranties in this Agreement, (ii) any of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement that expressly survive the Closing (but solely for the stated survival period expressly stated in this Agreement) or (iii) Buyer’s right to bring a claim or remedies against Seller for fraud by Seller, including fraudulent misrepresentation and fraudulent inducement, with respect to this Agreement; provided, however, that Buyer’s reservation of the right to bring a claim for fraud by Seller as provided in this clause (iii) shall not apply to any act of fraud as to which Buyer had knowledge as of the Closing.

Upon the commencement of any such action or proceeding, the parties shall endeavor to agree upon a retired Superior Court Judge or Supreme Court or Court of Appeal Justice from the then current list of retired judges available to serve as referees in the county in which such action or proceeding is commenced. If the parties are unable to agree upon such an individual within sixty (60) days after the service of the complaint in the action or proceeding, or the referee selected by the parties is not willing to serve and the parties cannot agree on an alternate within fifteen (15) days, then either party may make application to the court in which the action or proceeding is pending for the appointment of a retired Superior Court Judge or Court of Appeal Justice from the
22

list to serve as the referee. The parties shall advance, in equal shares, the fees and expenses of the referee selected pursuant to this Section but the losing party in any such action or proceedings shall, in addition to paying any judgment awarded by the referee, reimburse the other party for any and all fees and expenses previously advanced by such party for the referee.
14.2WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. SELLER AND BUYER, TO THE EXTENT THEY MAY LEGALLY DO SO, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, OR RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO, THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE EXTENT THEY MAY LEGALLY DO SO, SELLER AND BUYER HEREBY AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE RESOLVED AND DECIDED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF SECTION 14.1 ABOVE, WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES HERETO TO WAIVER OF ITS OR THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

15. | Miscellaneous. |
15.1Parties Bound; Assignment. Buyer shall not assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement (or make an offer or enter into negotiations to do so) without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall be subject to Seller’s sole, absolute and unrestricted discretion; except that, after the Inspection Period, Buyer may assign this Agreement to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer with seven (7) days’ notice to Seller, provided that (i) such assignment shall not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any closing document and (ii) the assignee shall expressly assume all of Buyer’s obligations under, and to be bound by all of the provisions of, this Agreement applicable to Buyer. In addition, Buyer shall not resell the Property or assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement (or make an offer or enter into negotiations to do so) through a “double escrow” or other similar mechanism without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall be subject to Seller’s sole, absolute and unrestricted discretion. No transfer or assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be valid or enforceable. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement, and the terms, covenants, and conditions herein contained, shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of each of the parties hereto.
15.2Attorneys’ Fees. In the event suit or action is instituted to interpret or enforce the terms of this Agreement, or in connection with any action, proceeding, reference, arbitration or mediation of any dispute, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party such sum as the court, arbitrator, referee or mediator may adjudge reasonable as such party’s costs and
23
/s/ LS |
Buyer Initials |
attorney’s fees, including such costs and fees as arc incurred in any trial, on any appeal, in any bankruptcy proceeding and in any petition for review.
15.3Brokers. Seller and Buyer each represent and warrant to the other that no real estate brokerage commission is payable to any person or entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except for (i) Colliers International which is acting solely as Seller’s broker and (ii) California Realty Group, which is acting solely as Buyer’s broker. Seller shall pay a brokerage commission to its broker pursuant to separate written agreement, and Seller and Buyer acknowledge their intent that Xxxxxxx’x Seller’s broker shall pay Buyer’s broker a commission equal to one and one-half percent (1 ½%) of the Purchase Price ultimately paid by Buyer for the Property; provided, however, that Seller’s sole obligation shall be to pay Seller’s broker and it shall have no obligation or liability with respect to the subsequent payment of said commission by Seller’s broker to Buyer’s broker. Subject to the foregoing, Seller and Buyer agree to and do hereby indemnify and hold the other harmless against the payment of any commission to any other person or entity claiming by, through or under Seller or Buyer, as applicable. This indemnification shall extend to any and all Claims arising as a result of such Claims and shall survive the Closing.
15.4Seller’s Right to Cure. In the event Buyer believes, at any time, and from time to time, during the term of this Agreement, that Seller has breached any of its obligations under this Agreement and Buyer believes that such breach entitles Buyer to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the express terms hereof, then prior to Buyer exercising any right to terminate this Agreement or any other remedy Buyer may have for such breach, Buyer must deliver to Seller a written notice specifying Seller’s alleged breach and allow Seller five (5) business days to cure such breach, and the Closing shall be delayed for the up to such five (5) business day period to allow Seller to effectuate such cure. If any such breach continues after such five (5) business day period, then Buyer can pursue its remedies in accordance with Section 12.2.
15.5Headings. The article, section, subsection, paragraph and/or other headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and in no way limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of the language hereof.
15.6Invalidity and Waiver. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative, and, to the greatest extent legally possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative. The failure by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s right to enforce against the other party the same or any other such term or provision in the future.
15.7Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall, in all respects, be governed, construed, applied, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to any conflicts of law. Venue for any dispute which is not governed by the provisions of Section 14.1 above shall lie in the state courts of Los Angeles County.
15.8Survival. The provisions of this Agreement that contemplate performance after the Closing and the obligations of the parties not fully performed at the Closing shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing; provided, however, that if this Agreement specifies a survival period with respect to particular provisions and
24
/s/ LS |

obligations, then those provisions and obligations shall only survive for the applicable survival period.

15.16No Recordation. Without the prior written consent of Seller, there shall be no recordation of either this Agreement or any memorandum hereof, or any affidavit pertaining hereto, and any such recordation of this Agreement or memorandum or affidavit by Buyer without the prior written consent of Seller shall constitute a material default hereunder by Buyer.

15.19No Third Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of Seller and Buyer only and are not for the benefit of any third party, and accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing.
